I had a friend who lived about 325 miles north of Toronto in the small village of Tilden Lake. Her doctor in North Bay said she needed to see a heart specialist in Toronto. It turned out she needed bypass surgery. She was placed on the list for the surgery. Expected wait: 19 months. She died four months later. Free health care? Really? What good is it if you die before you can get access to it?
Now come on... that bypass surgery didn’t cost her a dime. /sarc
